Hello, everyone.
I installed GrapheneOS a week ago, and decided to only use the Owner profile without Sandboxed Google Play Services.
Yesterday, I ran into some situation where I had to install Google Camera. So I created a secondary user profile and installed Google Services Framework from Apps.
Out of habit, I disabled Network permissions for GCam and GSF in the apps settings, and then I noticed GmsCompatConfig (I didn't see it before installing GSF) but it didn't have Network permissions enabled so I simply ignored it as I thought it was included with the GSF installation for it to work.
Having decided the secondary profile was temporary, I deleted it a few hours later.
Today, I noticed GmsCompatConfig is still present in the apps while I'm using the Owner profile. I searched 'Gms' in the settings and also saw an app named GmsCompat with Location permissions enabled by default.
I would like to know what do these apps do and how they ended up in the Owner profile without Google Services Framework installed.
Thanks.
